Touching Wild Horses seems more a trite Movie-of-the-Week, than a solid film that combines breathtaking beauty with character conflict and resolution.

A family drama ... that makes up for its production deficiencies with a noble heart.

The insights this independently produced drama has aren't any deeper than those to be gleaned from your average Afterschool Special.

Rated: 2/4

Take your good intentions and put them in your bum. This is as dull and pointless a film as I've seen in ages.
